Give to the Max Day 2015 -TOMORROW, November 12th<br />
<br />
<b>LINK: <a href="https://givemn.org/project/Tyler-Area-Community-Foundation-Endowment-Fund"><span style="color: yellow;">https://givemn.org/project/Tyler-Area-Community-Foundation-Endowment-Fund</span></a></b><br />
<br />
Each year, generous supporters like you celebrate Give to the Max Day by making your online donation on GiveMN.org. Your generosity on this day makes a difference far beyond the 24-hour giving event.<br />
<br />
Your donation on Give to the Max Day also may help us receive an additional donation of $1,000.How? On November 12, every gift made on GiveMN.org will be entered into an hourly drawing for a $1,000 GiveMN Golden Ticket to be awarded to a nonprofit organization. That adds up to 24 opportunities for you to help us receive an extra $1,000!<br />
<br />
Here’s the really exciting part: One donation made on GiveMN.org will be randomly selected at noon and at the end of Give to the Max Day to receive a $10,000 Super-Sized GiveMN Golden Ticket!<br />
<br />
The more gifts we generate on GiveMN.org on November 12, the more our chances increase to receive that additional $10,000 donation.<br />
<br />
Imagine what we could do with $10,000! Funds raised on Give to the Max Day will go toward our endowment fund, which is a permanent resource for the Tyler Area Community Foundation, with income used to make grants to area projects.<br />
<br />
Be sure to mark your calendar and make your gift on November 12 by visiting GiveMN.org and searching for our organization or you can use the link above to go directly to our fund page. *Please feel free to share within your networks.Tyler Area Community Foundationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904899898196297471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136723925617104531.post-19244218716914318882015-08-25T13:34:00.003-07:002015-08-25T13:34:17.590-07:00NEW PROJECT FUND - RTR Baseball Field in RuthtonIt is my pleasure to inform the Tyler Area Community that a new project fund has been opened to raise dollars for the RTR Baseball Field Project in Ruthton. The project will allow the field to meet the MN State High School requirements for baseball fields.<br />
<br />
The project was an idea of parents of the baseball players and has been supported by the RTR School Board. The school has committed $36,000 for the project and the RTR Baseball Committee has indicated the desire to continue fundraising to make additional updates to the field. The committee joined us for our foundation meeting in August and indicated that they have identified an additional $50,000 in equipment and project needs to finish the project.<br />
<br />
The additional projects included part of the new scoreboard, additional ag lime for the field, grass seed and fertilizer, fencing for bullpens, expansion of the existing dugouts, maintenance equipment, a line marking machine and template for the batter's box, additional lighting, new sound system, larger concession stand, new bathrooms and a crow's nest for local media. As you can see, there is still a lot of needs to make this a great baseball field.<br />
<br />
If you would like to donate to the project, please mail your check to: TACF, PO Box 239, Tyler, MN 56178 and include a note that the donation is for the RTR Baseball Field Project. The check can be made out to TACF and we will make sure that the donation is put in the project fund. As always, all donations will receive a letter from our partners at the Southwest Initiative Foundation (SWIF) indicating that you made a tax deductible donation for this project.Tyler Area Community Foundationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904899898196297471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136723925617104531.post-74835539295815909202015-02-25T08:13:00.001-08:002015-02-25T08:13:01.658-08:00Volunteers Needed for Jr. Achievement Program<span style="background-color: #0b5394; color: white;">Just received this request from Jr. Achievement of Lincoln County</span><br />

out in Ruthton for all grades. The Junior Achievement Program is offered to all
children ages Kindergarten through 6th grade. Volunteers will implement five
45-minute lessons with different educational packets to be presented to the
school children. All of the lesson plans are already designed and put together
for each particular grade. Volunteers and teachers collectively schedule times
and dates for each session and all five lessons are to be completed before the
end of the school year.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

It has been awhile, so I wanted to make sure everyone knew that the Tyler Area Community Foundation was still alive and looking for donations to grow our endowment fund. The Foundation's Endowment fund allows us to grant out dollars to area projects each year. The foundation has been able to grant out over $7,000 over the last four years and we would like to grant out even more dollars in the future by growing the fund. Some of the previous grants have been used to help offset the costs of new choir robes for the high school, Jr. Achievement in Lincoln County, Grain Rescue Tubes, the Tyler Food Shelf, Aebleskiver Days and many more. <br />
<br /><br />
You can help us grow that amount by donating on Minnesota's Give to the Max Day which will be held on November 13, 2014. If you want to donate online that day or any day, please visit: <a href="https://givemn.org/project/Tyler-Area-Community-Foundation-Endowment-Fund">https://givemn.org/project/Tyler-Area-Community-Foundation-Endowment-Fund</a> and make your donation.<br />
<br /><br />

The new location is located behind Tyler City Hall and the remodeling job turned out great. The Tyler Area Community Foundation was able to help with some of the costs of the remodeling project by recently awarding the Food Shelf with a $1,000 Endowment Grant. There is still some work to do get all of the costs paid for with the remodeling, so additional monetary donations will be accepted at the Open House. Food Donations will also be accepted at the Open House.<br />
<br />

<br />
Last night at the foundation board meeting, we heard updates on two on-going projects. <br />
<br />
The Tyler Swimming Pool project was up first and we heard about how well the slide was received by the kids this year. Kristie Johnson informed the board that they will be looking at updating the chairs and tables around the main pool and that the pool group would also be looking at holding another fundraising breakfast the weekend before Thanksgiving to raise dollars for the kiddie pool area.<br />
<br />
Joan Jagt then updated the group on the Tyler Food Shelf project. She mentioned that demolition would start soon and the remodeling would begin soon after. The food shelf board is expecting the need to raise $10,000 to complete the project. The are also planning to have a fundraiser, so please stay tuned and we will get that information out as soon as we have it.<br />
<br />
If you would like to donate to the Food Shelf project, Swimming Pool project or to our endowment fund, you can make your check out to TACF and mail it to PO Box 239, Tyler, MN 56178. Remember to write which project you want to donate to on the check and we will make sure it gets put into that account.<br />
<br />
Also, stay tuned to the blog and to the newspaper as we start to look for community projects that would be eligible to receive endowment fund grant dollars this year. We will also be looking for new board members in the next couple of months, so please let us know if you are interested in joining us. To learn more about the foundation, you can visit with our current board members. Current board members include: April Thomas, Glen Petersen, Gary Manson, Joyce Dass, Robert Wolfington, Sandy Enemark, Kristie Johnson, Joan Jagt and Tim O'LearyTyler Area Community Foundationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904899898196297471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136723925617104531.post-3753989282449604292013-04-16T06:46:00.000-07:002013-04-16T06:46:05.483-07:00Donkey Basketball Coming to TylerDonkey Basketball is coming to the RTR High School Gym on April 27th.

We would like to welcome Kristie Johnson to the board. Kristie will be replacing Trent Hess on the board. We would also like to thank Trent for his 3 years on the board. The board elected following individuals to serve as officers: Tim O'Leary, Chair; Sandy Enemark, Vice-Chair; Gary Manson, Treasurer; and Joan Jagt, Secretary. Other members of the board include: April Thomas, Robert Wolfington, Glen Peterson, Joyce Dass and Kristie Johnson.<br />
<br />
In other news, we were excited to hear that the Swimming Pool Project had received a donation from an anonymous donor in the amount of $25,700. We want to thank that donor and all of the other donors throughout the year for their donations and their commitment to Tyler Area and foundation projects.<br />
<br />
The board also opened up a new project fund for the Tyler Area Food Shelf which is looking at remodeling the former Chat and Chew building on Main Street. Currently, the food shelf is operating out of the back of The Rock as it looks for a new home.<br />
<br />
If you would like to donate to the Food Shelf project, Swimming Pool Project or the Foundation's Endowment Fund, you may send your donation to: TACF, PO Box 239, Tyler, MN 56178 and indicate on the check or in a note which project fund you would like to support with your donation.<br />

The project was kicked off with a $1,200 TACF Endowment Fund Grant. The Endowment Grant will be used to help the committee start its fundraising efforts. <br />
<br />
You can also help this project get off the ground by attending Dad's Belgian Waffle Feed at the Tyler Legion. <b>The waffle feed will be held this Sunday, November 18th, and they will be serving from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.</b> <br />
<br />
The Swimming Pool Improvement Committee is hoping to raise $25,000 over the next couple of years. The funds will be used to purchase and install a new slide. Funds will also be used to make other needed improvements at the Pool, so that more people will be able to take advantage of this community asset. <br />
<br />
For those of you that can't make the waffle feed, you can send your donation to TACF (put Swimming Pool Project on the memo line or in a note) and mail it to PO Box 239, Tyler, MN 56178. You can also drop off a donation with Gary Manson at the Log Cabin or Tim O'Leary at Lyon-Lincoln Electric. All donations are tax deductible and you will receive a receipt from our partner, the Southwest Initiative Foundation (SWIF).Tyler Area Community Foundationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904899898196297471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136723925617104531.post-84244352853305831072012-11-12T11:48:00.001-08:002012-11-12T11:48:38.785-08:00Give to the Max Day is November 15th!Greetings from the Tyler Area Community Foundation!<br /><br />GiveMN’s “Give to the Max Day” is coming up on Nov. 15th and we would like to provide you information about this fundraising campaign. GiveMN’s “Give to the Max Day” was created to raise as much money as possible for non-profit organizations like the Tyler Area Community Foundation in a 24 hour period. Since 2009, GiveMN has raised more than $48 million for more than 6,100 non-profits. GiveMN will continue there successful golden ticket opportunity and it will award 24 Golden Tickets in 2012. The Golden Tickets are $1,000 prize grants that will be given randomly every hour of the campaign. There will also be one supersized Golden Ticket valued at $10,000 which will be added to one lucky donor's gift. <br /><br />In addition to the Golden Tickets, our partner organization, the Southwest Initiative Foundation (SWIF), will be giving out 2 Silver Tickets. Here is how the Silver Tickets will work: All donors who give to the Tyler Area Community Foundation’s general endowment fund during the 24-hour period will be eligible to have a $500 prize added to their gift, courtesy of matching funds from SWIF. Last year, Joyce Dass was a Silver Ticket winner. Two winners will be selected out of all community foundation partners of SWIF (there are 21 of us). A $10 gift to our endowment qualifies to the same extent as a $1,000+ gift (i.e. one gift equals one chance). The more gifts we receive, the better our chances! <br /><br />The Tyler Area Community Foundation GiveMN page is located at: <a href="http://givemn.razoo.com/story/Tyler-Area-Community-Foundation-Endowment-Fund">http://givemn.razoo.com/story/Tyler-Area-Community-Foundation-Endowment-Fund</a>. <br /><br />We hope you will consider donating to our general endowment fund through the GiveMN “Give to the Max Day” and maybe we can receive a golden or silver ticket which will add to our endowment fund. So, mark your calendars for Nov. 15th and let your family, friends and neighbors know about this fundraising opportunity.Tyler Area Community Foundationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904899898196297471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136723925617104531.post-43955613128868973892012-06-08T10:58:00.001-07:002012-06-08T10:59:45.814-07:00Update on Fundraising EffortsIt has been a couple months since the last update, so I thought that I would share the most recent totals for the Downtown Community Sign Project. As of today, $28,868.54 has been donated to the sign project. A total of $15,584.15 has been raised since John Bornhoft's matching challenge was issued. Of that amount, one anonymous individual matched John's $5,000 donation and we would like to thank him or her for that donation.
We are getting close to the $30,000 goal and we are asking for your help to push donation totals over the $30,000 goal. If you would like to donate, please make your check out to TACF and make a note on the check that it is for the Downtown Community Sign Project. Then mail the check to TACF, PO Box 239, Tyler, MN 56178.Tyler Area Community Foundationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904899898196297471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136723925617104531.post-26452911273051052222012-03-16T08:27:00.006-07:002012-03-16T11:08:29.639-07:00New Challenge Issued for Sign ProjectFirst off, I would like to welcome our newest board members, Robert Wolfington and Joyce Dass. Welcome and thank you for your willingness to serve on the Tyler Area Community Foundation (TACF) board.<br /><br />At last night's meeting we had John Bornhoft from the Lions Club give us an update on fundraising efforts for the Downtown Community Sign project. To date, $13,284.39 has been raised for the project. However, this is far from the estimate of $30,000 to complete the project. With that in mind, the board and John visited about ways that we could jump start the fundraising efforts and several ideas were talked about.<br /><br />Then John asked about a matching challenge to the community and whether that would jump start the fundraising efforts again. The board mentioned that a matching challenge helped TACF reach its endowment fundraising goals and was well embraced by the community.<br /><br />With that in mind, John made the decision to offer a challenge to the community that he would match up to $5,000 of all funds raised for the Downtown Community Sign Project through the month of June. The donation was made in honor and memory of John's father Mel Bornhoft.<br /><br />Let's all help meet this challenge with a donation to the Downtown Sign project. You can send your tax deductible donation to: TACF, PO Box 239, Tyler, MN 56178. Please mark your donation "Downtown Sign Project" and join in this effort for a Community Sign.Tyler Area Community Foundationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904899898196297471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136723925617104531.post-78379694943047746162011-11-18T06:16:00.000-08:002011-11-18T06:21:11.302-08:00Give to the Max UpdateWe thought that we would give an update regarding the recent GiveMn "Give to the Max Day".

GiveMN’s “Give to the Max Day” was created to raise as much money as possible for non-profit organizations like the Tyler Area Community Foundation in a 24 hour period. Since 2009, GiveMN has raised more than $33 million for more than 5,000 non-profits. Last year’s Give to the Max Day was once again one of the most successful one-day online fundraising drives in history and it drew an astounding 42,596 donors with more than $10 million raised for 3,663 participating non-profit organizations. The year will also see new opportunities to the program as GiveMN has announced that it will award 24 Golden Tickets.

The project is being spearheaded by the Lions Club of Tyler and the foundation is taking donations on behalf of the project. All donations made to the foundation on behalf of this project will qualify for a tax deduction. To date, around $8,300 of the $30,000 needed, has been raised for the sign project.
<br />
<br />Donors to the sign project to date include: Anonymous donor, Nancy and John Utoft, Meulebroeck, Taubert and Company, Sturdevant’s Auto Parts, Tyler Funeral Home, Arnold and Joyce Dass, Southwest Family Chiropractic, Ardith L. Sween, Shirley A Johnson, Knudsen’s BP Amoco, Pluto Legal, PLLC, Richard/Cheryl Vos, John or Margaret Bornhoft, and Esther Hauswedell. These donations and the donations made directly to the Lions Club make up the $8,300 raised to date for the project.
<br />
<br />If you would like to join this group of donors to the Downtown Community Sign Project, you can mail your donation to: TACF, PO Box 239, Tyler, MN 56178 and write on the note line of the check, Downtown Sign Project Fund.

The endowment grant fund dollars were made available from the interest earned on the endowment fund principal dollars over the last year. In the future we hope to continue to grow the endowment fund principal amount which in turn will allow us to do larger grants in the future. If you would like to donate to the endowment fund or the downtown community sign project, you send your donation to TACF PO Box 239, Tyler, MN 56178. Just indicate on a note or your check which fund (endowment or community sign) that you would like your donation to help.

The board was updated on the Tyler Golf Course project by a representative from the Southwest Initiative Fund who let us know that an anonymous donor has decided to donate $12,000 to the clubhouse remodel project. The board decided that the Golf Course Project fund would remain open for tax-deductible donations until April 30th. <br /><br />With that project coming to an end, the board looked for a new project to support. This new project will be the Lions Club project for a new Downtown Community Electronic Sign. The project is estimated to cost around $26,000. We can start taking donations for the project immediately and if further information about the sign is needed, please contact a Lions Club member. Donations should have a note on them indicating that it is for the Sign Project and can be mailed to TACF, PO Box 239, Tyler, MN 56178.<br /><br />The board decided that the following community projects will receive endowment grants in 2011: Downtown Community Sign Project, 125th Celebration, Abelskiver Days, and RTR FFA. The funds were made available for granting from the dollars earned from the TACF Endowment Fund.Tyler Area Community Foundationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904899898196297471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136723925617104531.post-69726155842347032162010-12-22T09:20:00.000-08:002010-12-22T09:22:36.594-08:00Happy Holidays!As we get to the end of the year, the Tyler Area Community Foundation would like to extend a Happy Holidays to all of our blog readers and thank the community for there support in 2010 and their continued support in 2011.<br />Thank you!!Tyler Area Community Foundationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904899898196297471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136723925617104531.post-13227152832946326592010-11-03T13:01:00.001-07:002010-11-03T13:14:07.011-07:00Update 11-3-10It has been awhile since I posted any updates on what has been happening at the Tyler Area Community Foundation, so I thought I would do that today. Over the last couple of months, your foundation reached its donation goals for the year and its goal for the dollar for dollar match from the Southwest Initiative Foundation (SWIF). Right now, we have $52,000 in a permanent endowment fund. The board is now looking at how it will take grant applications for the $894 available for granting in 2011. This will be the first time that the local foundation will have money available to grant and we will be looking for community projects that will make good use of the available funds. We ran a newspaper ad thanking all of our donors that helped us reach our goals and for those donors that didn't read the newspaper that week, "Thank You!".<br /><br />The foundation is still accepting donations for the golf course project and for the National Danish Performance team visit to Tyler next week. If you want to send a donation to the Foundation, you can make the check out to TACF and mail it to PO Box 239, Tyler, MN 56178. Please mark on the check where you would like your donation to be deposited, for example: endowment, golf course project, or Danish performance team project. Thank you all for your support over the last couple of years as we work to re-establish the foundation in our community. If you would like to serve on the Foundation's board, please send an email to toleary@llec.coop and let me know.

The donations will also be matched by the Southwest Initiative Foundation and should get us to the $25,000 match challenge originally issued by Southwest Initiative Foundation when the Tyler Area Community Foundation was started. The TACF would like to thank everyone that helped meet this goal.<br /><br />The following donated to the endowment fund since my last blog post: Southwest Insurance Service (Barb Bornhoft), Larry and Kathy DeBoer, Tyler Wholesale (Curt, Kari, and Justin Dass), Dale and Joy Schak, Buzzy and Joyce Dass, Chris and Amy Determan (Southwest Family Chiropractic), and Christianson Implement (Mory and Mona Christianson).<br /><br />The foundation also received a donation from Ryan and Jamie Schreurs for the golf course remodel project.<br /><br />Thank you to everyone that donated to these funds!Tyler Area Community Foundationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904899898196297471noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136723925617104531.post-21679878492581579322010-06-24T06:04:00.000-07:002010-06-24T06:26:28.912-07:00Challenge Update and Update on other ProjectsOnly a week left in the Endowment Challenge that was issued late last month by a Tyler resident. The challenge was made to match up to $1500 of all donations made to the Endowment Fund from June 2nd to July 1st. To date, the TACF has received $400 towards the challenge. If you are looking at making a tax deductible donation to the Endowment Fund, now is the time to do it. As someone mentioned to me, for every dollar she donated it would be matched by a $1 from the challenge and $1 from SWIF which is a pretty good value. Donations should be made out to TACF Endowment Fund and mailed to TACF, PO Box 239, Tyler, MN 56178.<br /><br />TACF is also working with the Friends of the National Danish Performance Team and the Southwest Initiative Foundation on another project fund that would help offset the expenses to bring the team to perform in Tyler and at the RTR schools. Donations have already reached $1950 in this project, but the group will continue to look for more donations over the coming months. The Performance Team is scheduled to perform in Tyler on November 8th. Please contact Ricke Bly to learn more about the Performance Team and its visit to Tyler. If you would like to donate to this project, please send your donation to TACF, PO Box 239 Tyler, MN 56178 with a note saying that it is for the NDPT project fund.<br /><br />It also looks like the Tyler Golf Course Project remodeling project is coming along nicely, but they are still looking for donations to help them with finishing the remodeling project. If you would like to donate to this project, please send your donation to TACF, PO Box 239 Tyler, MN 56178 with a note saying that it is for the Tyler Golf Course project fund.<br /><br />Donations have been received for the endowment fund and the two project funds from the following: Leon and Diane Sorensen, Ron and Pam Thooft, Trent and Jackie Hess, Tim and Stacy O'Leary, Henry and Sharon Jacobsen, Buzzy and Joyce Dass, Curt and Darla Madsen, Jerry and Ricke Bly, Harlan and Marsha Petersen, Greg and Marilyn Peter, Denny and Jeanne Blomgren, Dennis and Jolean Faaborg, John and Margaret Bornhoft, Ines Peter, John and Nancy Utoft, Kurt Thomsen (Shadetree Auto), and the Tyler Healthcare Center.

We have approximately $3,400 left to raise to meet the $25,000 match challenge from SWIF. The resident, who doesn't want to be revealed, has mentioned that he/she will <strong>match up to $1,500 for all dollars raised between June 2nd and July 1st</strong> for the endowment fund. We hope to have a notice put into the Tyler Tribute this week and would like all of you to get the word out as well. Lets not let this opportunity pass by without taking advantage of this very generous offer. You can mail your donations to: TACF PO Box 239, Tyler, MN 56178 with a note letting us know that the donation be put to the Foundation's Endowment Fund.<br /><br />Thank you in advance for helping us reach our goal.Tyler Area Community Foundationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10904899898196297471noreply@blogger.com0
